The Toothpick and the Elephant
Silly little toothpick
the elephant scolded
You cannot marry me
For our ears do not match
Can’t you see…
No, I can’t, snapped the toothpick
I’m as blind as a twig
But we could be platonic lovers
Don’t you agree…
No I don’t, roared the elephant
his tusks twirling round
And with that, the toothpick hurled him
tusks and all to the ground
You might think to yourself
This story has no moral
But the point's indubitably immortal:
With a blind toothpick never quarrel
